My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 273 VHS Market and Cooperation

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!

"The clear grading of movies naturally loosens the restrictions on movies rated lll. Movies rated lll will have a great market."

Under the light, Wu Xiaozu's gaze was like a torch, and he calmly took the initiative into his own hands.

He is still displeased and apprehensive about this suspected "tobacco dealer's house demolition" in front of him.

If possible, he would not take the initiative to negotiate business with such lawless people.

Doing business is the same as getting married, you must always give your partners a sense of security.Cai Zhiming belongs to the kind that you don't know when he will break the rules roughly.

They are also living together... Cough, they are also club bosses, Xiang Shisan seems to have a face in his work, he talks about advances and retreats within the ruts, and talks about the circle within the rules.

But, having said that, the benefits of such a partner are also great.

To be honest, Wu Xiaozu was a little moved.A state of mind to die.

"It's not difficult to make a movie, the hard part is to sell well at the box office."

Wu Xiaozu smiled confidently, "I think this is also the reason why Cai Sheng asked me to work together on the film.

Today, LLL-level movies belong to a new cake with full potential waiting to explode.Enter at this time, the taste is the best. "

"lll level movie..."

Cai Zhiming tapped his fingers on the table habitually, glanced at Wu Xiaozu, who was smiling with sincerity, hesitantly said, "But lll-level movies, after all, are a bit..."

You, a big smoker, still hate reed discs?
Wu Xiaozu glanced at Cai Zhiming, who had an elegant expression on his face.

"Cai Sheng, the Hong Kong film industry is very exclusive. If you want to become a predator, you have to find a breakthrough."

Looking at Cai Zhiming's slightly hesitant appearance, Wu Xiaozu seemed to have seen through Cai Zhiming's mind, and said with a smile: "Cai Sheng, don't you just wonder why I share a profitable business with you so happily?"

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, Wu Xiaozu asked himself and answered: "The threshold of the lll-level market itself is very low, so this pool of water must be very muddy.

The shackles that restrict the development of LLL-level movies are actually capital and the market.

The "Film Censorship Bill of 1987" has a general definition of LLL-level movies, the most important of which is theaters and markets! "

Wu Xiaozu paused, and looked directly at Cai Zhiming, "Lll-rated movies are required to be shown in certain midnight theaters. This actually limits the market for Lll-rated movies and other movies to a certain extent.

However, the definition of films at all levels in the draft is not unsolvable.

Although it also clarified in the supplementary clauses that videotapes and other related screening carriers need to follow this principle, it does not limit the requirements for the venues where videotapes are shown.”

Wu Xiaozu's words made Cai Zhiming stop his fingers, "What do you mean?"

"Cai Sheng, your strength is fully capable of controlling the market. Nowadays, the videotape of Hong Kong Island-style movies has just developed, and your strength is very weak.

At this time, if you, Cai Sheng, intervene, it is not impossible to become an industry leader.

However, the Sony Betamax format is commonly used in Hong Kong Island, but in fact, as early as the year before last, Hollywood began to adopt the Philips VHS format.

The Netherlands is extremely developed in this regard.Many videotape recording factories in Europe are located in Amsterdam.

Today, VHS has become the biggest profit in Hollywood besides film distribution.It even affects the strategic development of Hollywood's Big Eight.

Cai Sheng, you can rely on the powerful VHS recording and distribution to break the current situation of the Hong Kong Island film circle.At that time, you can become a movie tycoon comparable to the major giants. "

Wu Xiaozu looked at Cai Zhiming who was engrossed in listening, and bewitched: "Lll-level movies are the biggest new force in the video tape market, and they are also the best breakthrough.

With the emergence of LLL-rated films and the limitations of the film classification system, the video tape market will definitely become an important part of the development of the film industry.

Today, Hong Kong Island filmmakers believe that mastering the distribution rights means mastering the market.

According to the trend of economic development, the home video tape market on Hong Kong Island will definitely have a huge and rapid development.By then..."

A good flick must leave blank space.

At this moment, Cai Zhiming was completely attracted by Wu Xiaozu's words.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the market prospect of video tapes. Apart from the traditional areas of Hong Kong films, the largest market for video tapes is actually the West.

Because the cost of the video tape is still slightly high, it is not common sense.

Therefore, the video tape market in Southeast Asia is not as large as that in Western countries.After all, video machines aren't cheap.The more developed the economy, the greater the family's demand for video recorders.

As for Japan, which has a developed economy...their entertainment business has always had its own development track, which is different from all countries in the world.

The words Wu Xiaozu put down were like heavy shells, which made Cai Zhiming stunned instantly.

He just wanted to enter the market to collect money and do some ulterior things casually.Unexpectedly, Wu Xiaozu smashed him a big gold mine!

At this moment, looking at the bullet and the 200 million check in front of him, Cai Zhiming suddenly blushed a little.

Director Wu in front of me is an honest man! ! !

This gift made him very excited.

"I own a film company - Jianghu Emergency Film Company."

Wu Xiaozu watched Cai Zhiming regain his expression, and smiled calmly, "This company can first ensure our preliminary cooperation."

"it is good!"

Cai Zhiming laughed and pointed at Wu Xiaozu, "Azu! No wonder you are popular in Hong Kong entertainment industry. People in Wanwan are looking for you to work together."

"Everyone is just showing love—"

Wu Xiaozu said modestly: "Besides, the video market involves channels, distribution and contacts. If it becomes bigger, it needs a strong background.

After all, the major film companies will not be reconciled...

I can't swallow it myself.

Since Cai Sheng intends to cooperate, I really like the win-win situation. "

Wu Xiaozu continued to be kind and seductive: "If Cai Sheng is good enough, you can spread your own video tapes in Southeast Asia, the Gulf of Bay, and Europe. With your strong distribution and distribution capabilities, you may directly become a guest of various film companies. ...

At that time, you can develop all aspects of video distribution, grant and sub-license of film copyright, film screening, investment in film production, CD duplication, facility leasing, video tape leasing, etc.

By that time, it may even exceed the current giants! "

Wu Xiaozu's words are powerfully provocative.It belongs to nine truths and one falsehood.It's a pity that Cai Zhiming would never guess that fake.

Now, according to the development of the market, the prospects of the video tape market now seem to be extremely bright.The Hollywood video business has proven this.

It is precisely because of the profits from the video tapes that Hollywood has found a huge source outside the box office, and it has given the major Hollywood film companies a huge confidence at once.Next, Hollywood began the production of various big productions.

If there is no such market support, Hollywood film companies are not philanthropists!
However, if Cai Zhiming really develops according to Wu Xiaozu's plan, this is a big pit.

Not to mention channels and distribution, it will definitely be a huge and long project for a novice like Cai Zhiming to start.

Besides, who would have thought how long the video tape market would last?

I'm afraid, apart from Wu Xiaozu, few people see it so clearly, right?
The most important thing is that a person with Cai Zhiming's character and the business he is engaged in may not survive that day.

This plan is absolutely convincing and feasible.

Originally, Wu Xiaozu was interested in the video tape business, but he never found a suitable partner.

Xiang Shisan is too shrewd, and he is extra cautious in doing things.Wu Xiaozu was very afraid that the other party would kill his chicken halfway to get the eggs.

In Wu Xiaozu's mind, if there is no partner, he will develop slowly, first become a small video distributor that releases movies in the VHS format, and then take advantage of the lack of entertainment in the Mainland, by sub-licensing movie copyrights to domestic audio-visual publishing houses, borrowing This establishes a new distribution network.

During the next period, Wu Xiaozu needs to play steadily and slowly.

Even at the thief's call "stop the thief", try the piracy business by yourself.

But it is always a hidden danger.

it's good now.

Wu Xiaozu looked around the brightly lit Chinese restaurant lobby of the hotel.

Cai Zhiming is undoubtedly a fairly good partner. Although his personality is a bit arrogant and his behavior is a bit ostentatious, it is because of the other party that he is a good partner.

Cai Zhiming threatened himself with bullets, Wu Xiaozu would not willingly bow down to Chen Chen, would he?If that's the case, why don't he just join the wave of community building?
Calculate yourself, always charge some interest.

"Cai Sheng—"

Wu Xiaozu looked at Cai Zhiming with a smile, touching the contract, the bullet and the 200 million check.

The hall was quiet.

"Mawei, take 200 million to the Kowloon Mahjong Parlor, and invite Azu's younger brother over for supper."

Cai Zhiming smiled and said to his confidant: "Do it until the little brother is satisfied!"

Then, he picked up the bullet and threw it to the ponytail man, "If one is not enough, you can play freely!"

scare!
Seeing Cai Zhiming's rough solution, Wu Xiaozu twitched his eyebrows, concealed his helplessness, and said with a calm smile, "Cai Sheng, there is no need to be so troublesome.

That little guy is timid, so it's better for me, a big guy, to go there in person. Pointing to the wall clock in the hall, "The time should be about the same, just right in the past." "

"OK……"

Cai Zhiming stared at Wu Xiaozu, saw that his face was composed, and waved his hands at several bodyguards, "Arrange a car and go to the Kowloon Mahjong Parlor."

"This matter can be regarded as your little brother's back. Xie Laosi owed gambling debts, and the loan shark originally planned to tie up his wife, but unfortunately, a pregnant woman... really tied up and there is no money to make. They want to make money, and they don't intend to harm her. Life.

Then the big belly woman said that he caught a guy..." Cai Zhiming looked at Fei Cheng with a smile, "This fat guy is the target. "

Fat Cheng's face turned black instantly.

"The things here are quite interesting. I didn't expect that Number Gang, Lian Le Tang, celebrities and even bad guys would get involved..." Cai Zhiming said with a smile.

Looking at Cai Zhiming, who was talking and laughing relaxedly, Wu Xiaozu felt even more fearful in his heart.

He just pushed the matter away in a joking manner, so he couldn't believe that Cai Zhiming was not planning this matter.one stone two bird?
Sure enough, the Dutchman was really unpopular.
